Dr. won’t refill Propecia prescription without another visit. Any other ways to get a refill?
The problem is that this particular doctor won’t accept insurance so the visit would cost 0. I asked my regular doctor to refill it, but he hasn’t seen me in a few years and won’t prescribe it without a checkup (he’s not available until August).
I can’t afford to wait until August because then all of the hair I’ve gained would fall out. Are there any quicker ways you know of that I could get the script refilled?
Thanks for your help.
Answer:
Find another doctor, period!
There is NO way in hell I would pay a doctor 0 for an office visit for ANY reason, under ANY circumstances to begin with! With OR without insurance!
As for your regular doctor, you ought to switch him out too! Having to wait 1-1/2 to 2 months for an appointment is outrageous!
You need to find a doctor who can better suit your needs. Ask your Insurance provider, a friend or family member to refer you to one.
Chances are you are going to have to wait a bit no matter what you do and may have to play catch up on your hair restoration after you find a new doc, but once you do… things should be easier. Next time, contact the prescribing doctor for a re-script while you still have 2-3 left on the currant one. This will leave you enough room to maneuver if things get complicated again.
